Lunch At Mom & Tina's With Friends

After I got off from work at 6:00 in the morning my lawyer-girlfriend asked me if I could come with her to Makati. She was to attend a hearing at Makati City Hall at around 7:30am then have lunch with her law school friends. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it on time for the hearing. We were just late for a few minutes though. After some worrying and some efforts to make up for missing the hearing, we head for lunch at Mom and Tina’s Bakery Café.

Those who were able to make it to lunch were Kai, Cham, and Lumen. Pearl was supposed to catch up after she’s done treating her office staff to lunch in her office (she wasn’t able to excuse herself from her office and missed lunch with us). I heard she recently got promoted. So there we were in Mom and Tina’s and I was the only thorn among lawyer-roses. With these smart women around, you cant help but get intimidated. But since I’ve known them for more than five years now so I guess I’m already comfortable around them.

The place was full-packed that we just settled for some seats outside the café. Well it didn’t really bother the ladies since they were just too eager to hear from each other and catch up on things. Cham started the ball rolling with here narration recent memorable experience in Boracay. But, no, I’m not going to mention it here for I haven't gotten any go signal from any of the girls. Probably, some other time I would. I felt awkward a couple of times for the topics were mostly women stuff.

When it was time to eat (finally!) Kai and my girlfriend, Sheryl, shared a bowl of Paella Rice. Kai was watching her diet, she said. I had Salisbury Steak and a glass of lemon iced tea. Lumen didn’t finish her Beef Stew. While, Cham enjoyed her Pomelo Kani Salad and some pork barbeque. I then took some pictures and videos of them since we rarely get together. After we ate and got ourselves some laughs, we exchanged goodbyes.

After that I had to go home since I still have to catch some rest for I still have work that night. Did I forget to mention that? I was really exhausted but I and my girlfriend had fun. and besides, this doesn't happen often.
